Woman seriously injured after hitting motor home backing onto highway

RCMP in Lunenburg County are investigating a serious road crash that critically injured a driver.

On Monday at about 12:10 p.m., police responded to a motor vehicle collision in Cherryfield at the intersection of Cherryfield Road and Highway 10.

Police said Tuesday that a preliminary investigation showed a 43-year-old woman from Middleton was driving south on Highway 10 and hit a motorhome being backed onto the highway from Cherryfield Road.

The female driver, the lone occupant of that vehicle, was taken by paramedics to South Shore Regional Hospital in Bridgewater and later transferred to a Halifax hospital where she’s in critical condition. The driver of the motorhome wasn’t injured.
